Human Sadness

Twelve Conversations

by Angelika Schett

Description

Why is the so-called “coolness” of sadness currently fading? Why is sadness increasingly being medicalized? Why is sadness the most humane of all feelings? And: can animals be sad?

Twelve conversations with philosophers, psychiatrists, experts in cultural studies, and psychoanalysts focus on sadness from different perspectives – and they have something positive to say about this emotion.

Target Group: For non-specialists and experts – everyone who is interested in the broad spectrum of human sadness
